                        Here are some pics of AMT/Ertl's Slave 1. After it sits on my bench for about a week I'll find some touch up painting or changes needed, but for now I thought I would share what I have.




                        Thanks for looking,

                        Hey Maxx,
                        That does look great!!!!! Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup] What weathering technique did you use? Also, could you explain Slave 1, I mean I don't know that much about sci-fi
                        So where does it originate from? Once again. Great Job!!!!
                        Cheers!!!!

                        It's from a small independant film called Star Wars: The Emprie Strikes Back.

                        Thanks. I got the weathering idea from a the July 2003 issue of Fine Scale( Weathering with salt). YUP! I thought the same thing... Confused [%-)]I wasn't sure if it would work in as large of an area at a time but Slave 1 seemed the best test. I'm happy with the results.

                        Thanks zokissima, it's the weather with salt idea. It was in the July 2003 FSM. I found though that in working in such a large area that it got better results by dipping a wide brush into water a then letting the salt take the water off the brush. The resulting damp clump of salt stuck a little better to the surface of the model. Then you can move this clump around and spred it out along panel line or edges. I have to say I was both suprized and releaved with the results.
